Simply Red

Something deep inside of me
That when it comes it won't bring too much prolong
I don't know how hard it'll be when I suffer
Affection is a start for me, I hope it's gonna move on
This time it's gonna be hard for me, I don't wanna suffer

I fight it hard when it tears my heart
Oh when I want someone I gotta have someone
And when I come to the conclusion
So scared I don't want to fall

Please don't make me suffer
Please don't make me suffer

Did he break his broken heart for you
Oh no mother, he never loved a single other person
This time it's gonna be hard for me, I don't want to suffer

I fight it hard when it tears my heart
Oh when I want someone I gotta have someone
And when I come to the conclusion
So scared I don't want to fall

Please don't make me suffer
Please don't make me suffer
I'm not hard enough, I'm not strong enough
Don't make me suffer

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
